I don’t rely on tv to parent my kids. If you ever met them you would know that. They are truly great kids.

Sorry to see you’re getting pounded instead of hugged here. I too am a mom and have been long disgusted with the commercial choices that these stations choose to broadcast during daytime tv.

The reality is that not all of us have spouses home at 5 pm or parents nearby to call for help. My dh is a pilot and a Marine who is gone more than he’s home. My parents live hundreds and thousands of miles away and even if my one sibling lived next door, I’d never even trust her with my cat let alone a child.

Doing all this myself, I have two straight A students who attend Christian School, they read all the time, they are swimmers and tennis players and love doing art projects, they attend music lessons, VBS in the summertime, etc. I can’t be all things to these children even though I have darn near killed myself trying. But shoot...is it too much to ask that appropriate commercials air during hours when children might be watching? Is it too much to ask that people use their brains? Is it too much for some of you to extend a hug to our FRiends once in a while?

Amen, I'll vouch for that.

Can't I watch a Yankee game (The great American game) during prime time without hearing about a 4 hour erection?
